and even though president obama's reelection was settled at about 11:15 p.m. eastern last tuesday, the election overall is still underway in some parts of the country, including one place where it appears to have mostly just broken down with a bunch of federal level races still undecided. and the state in question is not florida for once. important updates coming up there including what may be a deconcession by a democrat who previously thought he had lost in a big important u.s. senate race. that's all ahead. >>> but we have to begin with breaking news out of washington. "the washington post" is reporting tonight that president obama is considering massachusetts senator john kerry as his new secretary of defense. that's right, defense. putting the decorated veteran and former presidential candidate in charge at the pentagon and not at the state department, as had been widely speculated. "the washington post" is sourcing its reporting to unnamed senior administration officials. senator kerry is also not commenting tonight. if senator kerry does move to the cab

but barack obama managed to do it. or the republicans managed to blow it depending how you look at it. just take as a case in point. the tremendous republican disaster in the united states senate. i mean, they had a bad night on tuesday night. but in the senate, it was a sure bet that the republicans were supposed to retake control of the senate this year. a sure bet. they were only defending ten seats and the democrats were defending 23. that's a tilted playing field like this. not only did the republicans not retake the senate, the democrats held on to control and increased their margins. that's impossible. that is an impossible republican failure in a year like this. and the depth of that failure is bottomless. look at how they failed the more astonishing it is how badly they failed. not only did mitt romney lose the presidency but in terms of losing republican senate candidates in 11 states, the republican senate candidates did even worse with voters than mitt romney did in those states. mitt romney who lost. the c

republicans have a truce, obama launched a war over abortion. voters overwhelmingly disagreed with those extreme positions, of the president and the democratic party. moving forward, the republican party and its candidates must expose and exploit those vulnerabilities. >> see, if you ask the anti-abortion activists, the only reason republicans lost this year, the only reason mitt romney is not president-elect right now, is because he was not anti-abortion enough. the group says, in its own internal polling of likely swing voters, that polling proves that the reason republicans did so poorly, is because republicans this year were not anti-abortion enough. which is funny, because actual exit polling from the actual election yesterday, shows that 59% of voters think that abortion should be legal in this country, which is the position of president obama and the majority of democratic candidates. and that is a 23-point advantage over the number of voters who think abortion should be illegal, which is the position of mitt romney and most republican ca
